In  the  preparation  of  this  manual,  the  first  issued  by  the  church,  the 
committee  have  exercised  great  care,  and  yet  errors  will  doubtless  be 
found,  owing  to  constant  changes  of  residence,  of  which  the  Session  is 
not  advised.  Permit  us  to  suggest  that  all  changes  of  residence  be 
promptly  sent  to  the  Pastor,  or  Clerk  of  the  Session,  giving  full  address. 

Printed  slips  of  new  members  will  be  furnished  after  each  commun- 
ion, which  may  be  pasted  on  the  blank  pages  in  the  back  of  this  book.

lOven  as  Christ,  also  loved  the  church,  and  gave  himself  for  it ;  That  he  might 
sanctify  and  cleanse  it  with  the  washing  of  water  by  the  word,  Tlial  he  might  pre- 
sent it  to  himself  a  glorious  church,  not  having  spot,  or  wrinkle,  or  any  such 
tiling;  but  that  it  should  be  holy  and  without  blemish.— Ephesians  5:25,  26,  27.

Through  several  recent  and  excellent  e.sstiys  we  were  made  quite  fa- 
niiPiar  with  the  earlier  history  of  our  church  ;  still  it  is  deemed  best  to 
record  in  our  first  formal  church  manual  some  of  these  and  other  facts 
"  made  precious  by  the  passing  years." 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Presbytery  of  Oregon,  in  Portland,  on  Octo- 
ber 3d,  1853,  a  petition  from  certain  persons  for  the  organization  of  a 
church  in  Portland  was  refeived  and  considered.  The  re(|uest  was 
granted,  and  Rev.  J.  L.  Yantis,  D.  D.,  who  had  preached  for  them  a  part 
of  the  time  for  some  months,  was  appointed  to  preside  and  organize  the 
proposed  church. 

Tn  the  evenings  of  December  30th  and  31st,  1853,  Dr.  Yantis  preached 
in  Portland,  and  the  following  day,  8al)bath,  January  1st,  1854,  after 
preaching  from  Luke  12:  32 — "Fear  not,  little  flock" — the  First  Presby- 
terian Church  of  Portland  was  constituted  and  organized,  witii  twelve 
members,  and  the  election  of  \Vm.  P.  Abrams  and  James  McKeown  as 


elders.  la  these  services  Dr.  Yantis  was  assisted  by  Rev.  George  F. 
Wbitworth,  who  had  recently  arrived  in  Oregon,  and  who  supplied  the 
Portland  church  for  two  months,  going  hence  to  Olympia,  on  Puget 
Sound. 

On  May  1st,  1854,  Dr.  Yantis  reported  the  organization,  and  the 
church  was  taken  under  the  care  of  Presbytery  and  enrolled  as  "  The 
First  Presbyterian  Church  in  Portland."  Such  was  the  first  organized 
Presbyterianisni  in  Portland,  Oregon  Territory. 

We  may  be  pardoned  if  we  digress  for  a  moment  to  show  its  Pres- 
byteral  and  Synodic  relationship.  The  Presbytery  of  Oregon  was 
organized  at  Lafayette,  Yamhill  county,  on  November  19th,  1851,  and 
it  was  dedicated  in  the  following  words  of  consecration  and  unmeasured 
faith  in  the  "  Head  of  the  Church  :" 

"  Whereas,  It  has  pleased  God,  in  his  divine  mercy  and  good- 
ness, through  many  perils  by  land  and  sea,  to  bring  us  safely  to  this  new 
distant  and  difficult,  yet  interesting  field  of  labor,  and  has  permitted  us 
to  meet  this  day  in  health  and  peace,  and  constitute  ourselves  into 
a  Presbytery  ;  therefore — 

^^Resolved — 1.  That  the  tender  mercies  of  God  to  usward  are  grate- 
fully acknowledged. 

"2.  That  we  recognize  these  mercies  as  placing  us  under  new  and 
peculiar  obligations  to  devote  our  lives  to  the  work  of  the  ministry,  and 
as  encouraging  us  to  expect  the  Divine  blessing  on  our  labors. 

"3.  That  we  feel  deeply  sensible  of  the  existence  of  many  and  try- 
ing difficulties  in  our  field  of  labor,  and  entire  insufficiency  as  of  our- 
selve:J,  for  the  encumbent  duties  ;  that  the  best  and  most  wisely  directed 


means  iire  in  vain,  without  the  Divine  blessing  ;  and  that  we  do,  there- 
fore, humbly  and  earnestly  invoke  the  presence  of  tlie  Holy  Spirit,  to 
direct  and  sustain  us  in  our  efforts  to  advance  the  Redeemer's  Kingdom 
in  Oregon." 

Its  founders  were  Rev.  Lewis  Thompson,  of  the  Presbytery  of  Mis- 
souri, now  living  in  Oakland,  Cal.,  Rev.  Edward  R.  Geary,  of  the 
Presbytery  of  Coshocton,  Ohio,  deceased  September  1st,  1886,  and  Rev. 
Robert  Robe,  of  the  Presbytery  of  Zanesville,  Ohio,  still  preaching  at 
Brownsville,  Oregon,  where  he  has  been  for  twenty-three  ytars. 

The  three  ctiurches  first  enrolled  under  the  care  of  the  Presbytery 
of  Oregon  were — 

The  Church  of  Clatsop  Plains,  on  November  19th,  1851. 

The  Church  of  Marysville  (now  Corvallis),  on  October  1st,  1853. 

And  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Portland,  on  May  1st,  1854. 

Other  church  societies  existed,  but  for  some  reason  were  not  enrolled 
until  later. 

The  Church  of  Clatsop  Plains  was  organized  on  September  19tb, 
1846,  by  Rev.  Lewis  Thompson,  and  was  the  first  Presbyterian 
Church  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 

The  Synod  of  the  Pacific  was  organized  in  San  Francisco,  Cal., 
in  the  year  1853;  the  Presbytery  of  Oregon,  represented  by  Rev.  Robert 
Robe,  completing  the  constitutional  number  of  Presbyteries  necessary 
to  constitute  a  Synod,  and  with  this  Synod  our  Presbytery  was  identi- 
fied until  the  organization  of  the  Synod  of  the  Columbia,  in  October, 
1876. 

When  tlie  church  at  Portland  was  organized  it  was  expected  that 
Dr.  Yuntis  would  be  its  permanent  pastor;  meanwhile,  his  services  were 


6 

equally  divided  between  the  Portland  Church  and  the  Church  of  the 
Calipooia,  his  previous  charge  near  his  home  in  Linn  county,  80  miles 
from  Portland,  whither  he  journeyed  on  horseback,  twice  each  month, 
punctually,  until  an  affection  of  the  eyes  compelled  him  to  give  up 
the  Portland  work.  After  this  the  church  had  only  occasional  preach- 
ing, aud  fiually  passed  into  a  state  of  suspense.  Presbytery,  however, 
recognized  its  entity  by  mentioning  it  in  each  year's  proceedings  ;  and 
at  its  meeting  in  Eugene  City,  April  29th,  1859,  Rev.  H.  R.  Avery  was 
ai^pointed  to  supply  the  church  in  Portland  on  the  4th  Sabbath  in  May, 
1859,  and  to  make  report  thereof  at  the  next  stated  meeting  of  the  Pres- 
bytery. The  next  meeting  of  the  Presbytery  was  held  at  St.  Helens, 
September,  8th,  1859,  at  which  Mr.  Avery  reported  that  "Ae  found  Port- 
land an  interesting  field  of  ministerial  effort.'''' 

During  the  fall  of  1859,  a  meeting  of  Presbyterians  resulted  in  an 
'$800  subscription  toward  ministerial  supply  for  one  year,  and  a  request 
therefor  was  sent  to  the  Board  of  Home  Missions  ;  the  Board  promptly 
responded  by  sending  Mr.  Philip  S.  Caffrey,  a  recent  graduate  of  Prince- 
ton, who  reached  Portland  on  June  4th,  1860,  engaging  at  once  in  his 
work  and  preaching  his  first  sermo^ik  on  Sabbath,  June  17th,  1860. 

On  August  3d  or  4th,  1860,  Rev.  Louis  Thompson,  of  Clatsop,  organ- 
ized seventeen  persons  into  a  chnrch,  who  elected  as  ruling  elders, 
Smith  M.  Hensill,  Israel  Mitchell  and  James  McKeown  (who  was 
elected  and  ordained  a  Ruling  Elder  at  the  first  organization.)  At  its 
meeting,  September  7th,  1860,  the  Presbytery  received  the  church  and 
mentioned  it  in  its  records  as  the  "  Portland  church  reorganized." 

Owing  to  its  considerable  period  of  desuetude,  the  question  may 


arise:    Were  the  organizations  of  1854  and  1860  sufficiently  coherent  to 
establish  the  continuity  of  the  church  from  its  first  inception? 

On  January  1st,  1854,  James  McKeown  was  elected  and  ordained  a 
ruling  elder  in  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  in  Portland,  and  the 
church  was  duly  enrolled  by  Presbytery.  In  August,  18G0,  Mr.  Mc- 
Keown being  present,  was  again  chosen  an  elder,  thus  participating  in 
both  organizations,  and  without  any  intervening  act  of  renunciation  by 
either  Mr.  McKeown,  the  church  or  Presbytery. 

It  would  seem,  therefore,  under  our  church  polity,  that  the  first  or- 
ganization was  preserved  and  transmitted  by  Elder  McKeown,  and  the 
action  of  August,  1860,  was  simply  a  resumption.  This  position  is  in- 
cidentally strengthened  by  the  following  facts  :  The  original  name  was 
continued,  and  after  its  reception  in  1854,  Presbytery  referred  to  the 
Portland  church  every  year  in  its  records,  and  sent  a  minister  to  preach 
for  the  church  in  the  summer  of  1859,  and  finally,  at  its  meeting  in  Sep- 
tember, 1860,  received  the  church  as  the  "Portland  church  reorganized." 
Under  similar  conditions,  the  Presbytery  doubtless  at  the  present  time, 
would  regard  the  reorganization  as  a  resusGitation .  Hence,  we  can  rea- 
sonably assume  THAT  THIS  CHURCH  ORIGINATED  ON  JANUARY  1st,  1854. 

Mr.  Caffrey  was  taken  under  the  care  of  Presbytery,  ordained  sine 
titulo  to  t\\e  gospelministry,  and  assigned  to  the  Portland  church  on 
September  7th  and  8th,  1860.  With  slight  intermission,  the  Rev.  P.  S. 
Caffrey  continued  as  stated  supply  to  this  church  until  January  1st,  1867, 
serving  the  church  with  faithfulness  and  ability,  six  and  one-half  years, 
when  failing  health  necessitated  a  change. 

The  first  board  of  trustees  was  elected  on  August  20th,  I860,  and 


eousisted  of  W.  S.  Ladd,  J.  C.  Ainsworth,  H.  A.  Hogiie,  J.  M.  Blossom 
and  B.  F.  Smith. 

The  comparatively  small  sum  received  from  the  Hoiue  Board,  indi- 
cates that  the  resuscitated  church  possessed  unwonted  vigor.  Aid  was 
sought  only  as  follows  : 

Foryear  ending  June,  1861 $400  00 

"       "  "  "       1862 300  00 

"       "  "  "       1863 200  00 

"       "  "  "      1864 200  00 

Total $1,100  00 

And  the  church  became  self-supporting  on  June  17th,  1864,  building 
meanwhile — for  that  time — a  remarkably  fine  house  of  worship ;  and 
from  the  very  beginning  it  has  been  a  zealous  and  increasing  supporter 
of  all  mission' wor  It,  and,  indeed,  of  every  worthy  object. 

Brevity  admonishes  us  to  pass  rapidly  amid  these  historic  scenes, 
and  leave  you,  dear  reader,  to  weave  into  our  coarse  fabric  of  current 
events,  the  golden  threads  of  loving  ministries,  self-denial  and  "  patient 
waiting  in  well  doing,"  so  manifest  in  all  of  the  early  Christian  bands. 

In  the  summer  of  1862,  the  lots  on  the  corner  of  Third  and  Wash- 
ington streets  were  purchased  for  $1,500;  plans  for  the  church  thereon 
were  adopted  March  7th,  1863,  the  contract  for  building  was  let  on  April 
15th,  1863,  for  $9,500.  The  total  cost  of  lots,  building  and  furnishing  is  said 
to  have  been  about  $20,000.  The  ladies  furnished  the  church  and  paid 
for  the  lots  at  a  cost  of  about  $3,500.  Their's  was  phenomenal  work  and 
success ;  the  right  royal,  alphabetical  and  other  entertainments  they 
gave  are  still  recalled  and  praised  by  the  people  who  attended  them.

Oil  May  12tl),  18()4,  Mrs.  H.  W.  Corbett,  whom  many  still  re- 
member, J) resented  the  church  bell,  and  for  a  quarter  of  a  century,  in 
loncs  many  times  joyful  and  often  sad,  it  has  called  the  people  to  prayer 
and  praise.  The  manufacturer  of  this  bell  said  "it  was  cast  from  bells 
and  cannon  captured  during  the  civil  war;"  and  not  long  after,  from  its 
new  place  in  the  church  tower,  instead  of  death-dealing  missiles,  the 
old  metal  recast,  sent  forth  in  holier  tones,  the  joyful  news  of  peace  re- 
stored and  the  Union  preserved.  Upon  it  also  devolved  the  melancholy 
duty  of  announcing  the  tragic  death  of  the  immortal  Lincoln.  Yes  ; 
we  will  preserve  the  old  bell  because  of  the  hallowed  memories  which 
cluster  about  it. 

The  church  was  dedicated  on  May  22d,  1864.  The  Rev.  George  H.  At- 
kinson preached  the  sermon,  and  the  pastor  conducted  the  other  exer- 
cises. 

On  October  23d,  1865,  the  society  was  duly  incorporated  as  "The 
First  Presbyterian  Church  and  Society  of  the  City  of  Portland,"  by 
Messrs.  W.  S.  Ladd,  J.  C.  Ainsworth,  O.  P.  S.  Plummer,  J.  D.  Holman 
and  M.  B.  Millard.  The  value  of  the  property  then  owned  by  the  so- 
ciety was  $25,000. 

After  the  close  of  Mr.  Caflfrey's  labors,  January  1st,  1867,  the  church 
remained  one  year  and  eight  months  without  a  pastor  or  stated  supply. 

On  Aug.  6,  1867,  a  call  was  extended  Rev.  A.  L.  Lindsley,  D.  D., 
South  Balem,  N.  Y.,  which  he  at  first  declined ;  but  was  finally  pre- 
vailed upon  to  visit  the  field,  and  arrived  in  Portland  on  July  31st,  1868. 
He  found  an  acceptable  church  and  entered  at  once  into  its  work.  His 
installation,  which  occurred  on  April  25th,  1869,  made  him  the  first  reg- 
ular pastor  of  the  church.     He  found  the  church  with  eighty-seven 


10 

members;  seveu  hundred  and  forty  were  received  during  his  ministry, 
and  he  left  an  active  membership  of  over  three  hundred.  His  sympa- 
thies were  actively  enlisted  in  every  good  cause,  and  all  worthy  men 
and  measures  received  his  encouragement  and  support.  His  mission 
work  was  pre-eminently  successful.  While  pastor  of  this  church  he  organ- 
ized twenty-one  churches  and  dedicated  twenty-two.  All  the  Indian 
missions  were  the  objects  of  his  fostering  care;  indeed,  he  may  properly 
be  regarded  as  the  father  of  Presbyterian-Indian  missions  in  the  North- 
west, including  the  Alaskans,  Nez  Perces,  Puyallups,  Umatillas,  Spo- 
kanes  and  others.  We  can  never  correctly  estimate  the  value  of  his 
work,  so  varied  was  its  character  and  so  wide  the  field  ;  but  we  do  know 
that  he  labored  for  Christ,  the  Head  of  the  Church,  with  remarkable 
singleness  of  purpose,  zeal  and  ability.  His  long  pastorate  of  over 
eighteen  years  in  this  church  enabled  him  to  gather  and  enjoy  much  of 
the  fruit  of  his  labor  in  his  own  church  and  in  the  wider  field  of  his 
Christian  usefulness.  The  gifts  of  the  church,  for  all  purposes,  during 
his  pastorate  are  recorded  as  over  $240,000.  His  was,  indeed,  a  fruitful 
ministry,  and  he  a  living  epistle  known  and  read  of  all  men.  His  elec- 
tion to  the  chair  of  Practical  Theology  in  the  San  Francisco  Seminary 
led  to  his  resignation  as  pastor  of  this  church,  and  his  farewell  sermon 
was  preached  on  November  21st,  1886. 

We  desire  to  make  grateful  mention  of  Rev.  Thomas  Frazar,  of 
California,  for  his  many  kindnesses  and  valuable  aid  to  our  church.  His 
occasional  visits  during  the  past  twenty  years  were  greatly  enjoyed,  and 
his  pulpit  ministrations  were  very  instructive  and  infiuential.  His 
many  friends  in  this  church  hold  him  in  atlectionate  esteem.

This  was  the  only  Presbyterian  church  in  Portland  and  vicinity  un- 
til early  in  1882,  when  it  became  apparent  that  other  churches  were 
necessary  to  secure  the  best  results. 

On  February  12th,  1882,  the  following  action  was  taken  by  the 
Session  of  this  church: 

"Whereas,  Efforts  have  been  made  in  this  congregation  for 
sometime  past  for  propagating  the  cause  of  Christ  by  forming  new  or- 
ganizations, and  opportunity  seems  now  offered  for  organizing  a  second 
church  in  Portland,  and  believing  another  church  will  materially  bene- 
fit and  advance  the  cause  of  Christ  in  our  midst ;  therefore,  be  it — 

'^Resolved,  By  the  Session  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of 
Portland,  that  the  proposition  to  establish  a  second  Presbyterian 
church  in  .  this  city  meets  with  our  approval,  and  we  do  heartily  com- 
mend the  enterprise  to  the  members  of  our  church  and  congregation, 
and  hereby  tender  our  aid  in  any  way  that  may  be  desired,  earnestly 
praying  that  abundant  prosperity  may  attend  the  new  member  in  the 
Household  of  Faith. 

^^ Resolved,  That  a  petition  be  prepared  by  the  Session  for  circulation 
for  the  formation  of  a  second  church." 

Such  a  petition  was  prepared  and  circulated,  and  on  February  19th, 
1882,  it  was  presented  at  a  meeting  of  Session,  with  fifty  signatures  ask- 
ing to  be  dismissed  for  the  purpose  mentioned.  The  request  was  consid- 
ered, and  being  found  in  due  form,  it  was  unanimously — 

^'■Resolved,  That  the  petition  be  granted,  and  that  a  joint  letter  be 
given  to  petitioners  dismissing  them  from  this  church,  for  the  purpose 
of  organizing  a  second  Presbyterian  church  in  this  city." 


12 

Such  was  the  beginning  of  Calvary  Church,  and  its  excellent  rec- 
ord in  all  church  work  proves  the  wisdom  of  its  formation. 

On  June  15th,  1882,  a  petition  was  presented  requesting  the  Session 
to  aid  in  effecting  a  church  organization  at  Union  Ridge,  W.  T.,  and 
seven  of  our  members  were  dismissed  to  take  part  in  the  organization. 

On  September  15th,  1882,  a  similar  petition  came  to  the  Session  for 
a  church  at  East  Portland,  and  nineteen  of  our  members  were  dismissed 
to  aid  in  forming  a  Presbyterian  church  in  that  city. 

On  November  6th,  1884,  thirteen  members  were  dismissed  .to  organ- 
ize the  St.  John's  Presbyterian  church  in  North  Portland. 

The  Presbyterian  churches  of  Albina,  Sellwood,  the  Fourth  in 
South  Portland,  and  Mizpah  in  Stephens'  addition  to  East  Portland, 
followed  rapidly,  and  where  recently  but  one  existed,  eight  churches  are 
now  doing  effective  work;  and  to  this  remarkable  development  the  old 
church  has  been  able  to  contribute  to  a  considerable  extent,  in  both  mem- 
bership and  means,  and  we  unceisingly  rejoice  in  the  increasing  strength 
and  usefulness  of  all  the  members  in  our  confraternity. 

As  early  as  1881  the  advisability  of  selling  the  old  church  property 
and  building  elsewhere  was  discussed,  and  in  October  of  that  year  the 
north  half  of  Park  block  6,  corner  of  Taylor  and  East  Park,  was  pur- 
chased for  that  purpose.  The  location  was  afterward  objected  to  as  being 
too  near  to  Calvary  Church  and  that  property  was  subsequently  dis- 
posed of.  In  May,  1883,  the  quarter  block  now  occupied  by  the  new 
church,  on  the  corner  of  Alder  and  Tenth  streets,  was  bought  for  $10,- 
000.  In  January,  1886,  the  churcli  and  congregation  authorized  the 
trustees  to  dispose  of  the  old  church  jiroperty.     This  action  was  further 


13 

confirmed  iu  February,  1886,  and  on  the  first  of  April  of  that  year  the 
property  was  sold  at  public  auction  for|68,000. 

The  quarter  block  on  Tenth  and  Alder  being  insufficient,  the  par- 
sonage property  adjoining  it  was  bought  in  April,  1886,  for  $13,000.  In 
the  same  month  a  meeting  of  the  church  and  congregation  formally 
decided  to  build  the  new  church  on  the  new  site,  and  a  building  com- 
mittee was  appointed  to  procure  plans  to  be  submitted  to  the  church  and 
congregation.  Mr.  W.  F.  McCaw  was  chosen  as  architect,  and  the 
plans  were  submitted  and  adopted  in  July,  1886.  It  was  decided  to 
build  a  stone  church,  the  total  cost  of  which,  including  furnishings, 
will  be  about  $125,000. 

The  chapel  of  the  new  church  is  now  finished  with  a  seating  capac- 
ity of  563.  The  maiu  church  will  be  ready  for  dedication  sometime 
next  winter. 

The  six-years'  term  eldership  in  this  church  was  adopted  on  April 
24th,  1876,  under  which  two  elders  were  elected  every  two  years. 

On  May  4th,  1888,  this  was  changed  to  the  three  years'  term  to  con- 
form to  the  deliverance  of  the  General  Assembly,  The  next  election  will 
occur  in  April,  1890. 

On  December  30th,  1884,  the  "Order  of  Deaconesses"  was  established. 
At  first  there  were  but  five,  now  there  are  ten,  and  they  have  become  an 
indispensable  auxiliary.  They  have  a  wide  range  of  duties.  Their  ser- 
vices, while  necessarily  unostentatious,  are  exceedingly  helpful  to  the 
pastor  and  useful  to  the  church.  We  heartily  commend  the  appoint- 
ment of  deaconesses  to  all  city  churches. 

The  sympathies  of  this  church  have  always  been  actively  enlisted 


14 

in  behalf  of  the  men  of  the  sea,  and  the  Portland  Seamen's  Friend  So- 
ciety has  found  it  from  the  very  first  one  of  its  chief  supporters,  and  we 
are  pledged  to  a  more  active  participation  in  this  work  than  ever  be- 
fore.   • 

The  "Bethany  Missiou,"  organized  in  August  last,  and  maintained 
in  the  old  Seamen's  Bethel,  corner  Third  and  D  streets,  has  not  assumed 
the  position  of  strength  and  imjiortarice  which  the  location  warrants. 
More  vigorous  work  has  been  projected,  and  its  growth  and  usefulness 
will  be  enhanced,  when  this  congregation  shall  have  removed  to  the 
new  church  building.  Bethany  Missiou  is  destined  to  be  one  of  the 
most  important  branches  of  our  church  work. 

Dr.  Lindsley's  resignation  and  removal  to  California  to  engage  in 
his  new  duties,  left  our  church  without  a  pastor,  and  so  it  continued  for 
nearly  eighteen  months  ;  meanwhile,  the  Presbyterian  pastors  in  and 
about  the  city  kindly  aided  us  by  preaching  and  otherwise  as  their  own 
church  duties  would  permit. 

Rev.  R.  B.  Dilworth  supplied  our  pulpit  very  acceptably  for  nine 
months  from  January  1st,  1887.  His  excellent  discourses  will  long  be 
remembered,  and  here  he  will  always  find  a  cordial  welcome. 

On  December  10th,  1886,  the  congregation  appointed  a  committee, 
with  full  power  to  select  and  engage  a  pastor.  Many  names  were  sug- 
gested and  carefully  considered.  No  overtures  were  made,  however, 
until  January,  1888,  when  our  present  pastor  was  introduced  to  us  by 
Rev.  Herrick  Johnson,  D.  D.,  through  Dr.  Lindsley,  who  cordially 
endorsed  him.  Correspondence  with  Dr.  Jolinson  quickly  changed  a 
favorable  impression  to  conviction  ;  a  congregational  meeting  was  held, 
and  a  unanimous  call  was  extended  Rev.  Arthur  J.  Brown,  Oak  Park, 


15 

III.,  on  January  26,  1888.  In  response,  Mr.  Brown  visited  Portland, 
and  we  became  acquainted.  After  bis  return  to  Cbicago,  tbe  congre- 
gation again  convened  on  Monday,  February  27tb,  1888,  wlieu  the 
previous  call  was  reiterated  by  a  unanimous  vote. 

Upon  due  consideration,  Mr.  Brown  accepted  the  pastorate  on 
March  5,  1888,  and  arrived  in  Portland  on  Saturday,  April  7,  1888, 
j)reachiug  his  first  sermon  as  pastor  elect  on  the  following  day.  Pres  ■ 
byteral  action  was  at  once  sought,  and  on  Wednesday,  May  9, 1888,  Mr. 
Brown  was  duly  installed  pastor  of  the  church. 

Dr.  Lindsley  preached  the  sermon,  and  Reverends  Wm.  Morrison, 
E.  W.  Brown,  J.  V.  Milligan,  W.  S.  Holt,  Thomas  Boyd,  Donald  Ross, 
W.  H.  Landon,  D.  D.,  R.  Gilpin  and  W.  O.  Forbes  assisted  in  the  ser- 
vices, rendering  the  occasion  one  of  unusual  interest. 

Our  pastor's  faithful  labors  for  the  year  have  been  richly  blessed. 
The  outward  symbols  are  largely  attended  services,  an  added  member- 
ship of  sixty-two  by  letters  from  other  churches,  and  eighty-seven  on 
confession  of  their  faith  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  by  gifts  for  all  pur- 
poses of  $76,523.25. 

The  condition  of  the  church  is  exceedingly  gratifying.  Aflection,  de- 
votion, benevolence,  harmony  and  hearty  co-operation  are  manifested 
in  all  of  its  work. 

Let  none  be  satisfied,  however,  with  present  attainments,  but  with 
devout  thankfulness  for  blessings  possessed,  strive  after  better  things 
and  unceasingly  "  press  toward  the  mark,  for  the  prize  of  the  high  call- 
ing of  God,  in  Christ  Jesus."

THE  SAN  GRAEL  SOCIETY. 


The  San  Grael  Society,  taking  its  name  from  the  charming  old 
legends  of  the  Holy  Cup,  symbolical  of  Divine  charity,  is  an  association 
of  the  youug  people  of  the  church,  corresponding  to  Christian  Endeavor 
Societies,  which  have  become  so  geueral  throughout  the  United  States. 

This  society  was  organized  Marcli  17,  1884,  witli  a  membership  of 
thirty-five  (35).  By  the  close  of  the  filth  year  of  its  existence  there  had 
been  entered  on  its  roll  book  one  liundied  and  fifty-five  (lo-5)  names. 

The  work  is  divided  among  various  committees,  viz.  :  The  Advisory, 
the  Prayer  Meeting,  the  Benevolent  Work  and  Temperance,  the  Social 
Improvement,  the  Welcoming,  the  Refreshment,  and  the  Flower. 

Prayer  meetings  are  now  held  on  Monday  evening,  excei)t  on 
the  third  Monday  of  each  month,  when  tlie  evening  is  devoted  to  busi- 
ness, literary  exercises  and  social  reunion.  These  meetings  are  held 
throughout  the  year— discontinued  only  during  the  months  of  July  and 
August. 

The  San  Grael  Society  stands  ready  to  do  its  part  in  relieving  any 
case  of  want  made  known  to  it.  Its  contributions  to  various  causes 
every  year  are  large  and  show  an  earnest  and  ijeiievolent  spirit  a)nong 
the  members. 


'J4 


The  object  of  the  Society,  as  stated  in  the  constitution,  is  to  pro- 
mote "  knowledge,  fellowsliip  and  Christian  usefulness  among  the 
young  people."  Its  aim  and  desires  are  fittingly  embodied  in  its  motto^ 
"Be  thou  an  example  of  the  believers  in  word,  in  conversation,  in  char- 
ity, in  spirit,  in  faith,  in  purity,"  and  it  opens  its  arms  to  all  strangers 
and  those  who  desire  to  find  friends  and  fellow-workers  in  the  one  great 
cause  of  the  advancement  of  the  Kingdom  of  Christ.
